Why is Jack Chick so hated? I know what it is: Jack Chick made a tract that addressed the issue of homosexuality. I posted it and that is when all of the controversy started. The name of the tract is "Gay Blade." Chick.com is the name of the site. Don't go to this site unless you want your sacred cow to be kicked over. Jack Chick's tracts are Bible-based and Christ-centered. Jack's tracts are in numerous foreign languages and are designed to cover many areas of human experience. But the focus is on informing humanity of their sin problem. Jack Chick vividly takes you on a journey through his short stories aimed at capturing your attention. Jack' Chick's tracts draw you into many, varied scenarios all with a central message: all are sinners in need of the Savior. If Jack Chick's tracts offend anyone rest assured that is not his intent. The last thing that Jack wants to do is offend anyone. What would be the benefit of that? Don't let the short stories rub you the wrong way. Let the seed of God's Word concerning Jesus Christ and salvation from sin sink into your heart.

What makes his interpretations so different to any other priest? All priests know the Bible. Not all come to his conclusions.

you know, if you look back at all the posts by users who have told you you were full of shit, several of them are gay. BUT! none of them have made an issue out of homosexuality. Only you do that. You turn "gay" into a focal point, not the actual gay posters. That's sad...just like you. And, it's awfully indicative of a whob sock to boot.

You know what?

Just like Gandhi said, ''I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.''

Do you know what Jesus stood for? He stood for all the minorities, all the discriminated people, all the weak and all the different.
All you don't seem to stand for.

If jesus was here today, he would protect and speak out for homosexuals, women, abortion, freedom of religion, and against violence.

Just look at your Bible's history - jesus seem to be the one which was liberal at the times in which he was brought up.

All you preach out against, Jesus would have endorsed.

Jack Chick is scrutinising anyone who doesn't believe what he believes. He fillers his cartoons with propaganda and lies in order to show soe kind of superiority over other people.

It disturbs me that you cannot see anything wrong with his cartoons and message. It disturbs me a lot.

Because he's lies within his Tracts. He also makes stupid remarks like Black Sabbath is the spawn of the Devil and if you have a D&D character and they die, you'll commit suicide. He's stubborn, stupid, and lies. Not something Jesus would appreciate.

Chick is a complete idiot. That's why he's hated. You're a troll; that's why you're hated.

Telling a moron that he's a moron is not "discrimination"; sorry.

If Jack Chick would like to post his views through comic art presentation, I am sure that the moderators would let him do so. It is not an attack at him, it is that the posting of his material is not a form of discussion that comes mainly from your view. They are propaganda, and you overused them. It is too bad that you did this, they would probably not have been banned by the moderators had you used them less and used them in a more proper context more frequently. Myself, I am glad they were banned, I dislike them.

At least I have the site....now I can read them anytime I want to feel depressed about the world.

Jesus never comments on homosexuality in the Bible, so we don't know what he thought about it. We might guess that, as a Jew, he dissaproved of it, but Jesus was much more liberal about the law then most Jews.

Paul? Now Paul goes on record as not liking gays.

Im waiting to see a quote of Jesus regarding hating homosexualty, disaproving abortion, and viewing women as lessers.

On my part? No, I don't think so.

Thank goodness, because that's what I was saying.

As far as I know, the only early scriptural statements on abortion are in the Didache, and that didn't make the cut.

Also, please remember that if it weren't for "Paulianity", a lot of people here would be dead. Very, very dead.

What are you talking about? Paul doesn't comment on abortion either, if that's what you mean.

JesusIsAlive. JIA. Dear me. Why do you persist on this path. In every thread you have posted a tract reasons have been given why they are wrong. We are not discriminating against your faith. We are saying, quite fairly, the problems inherent in the tracts. Would you like me to reiterate?

Bigoted, historically and factually inaccurate, inflammatory, ignorant, use scare tactics, attack other Christian faiths, are poorly drawn, are overly propagandised, demonize people and groups undeserving of such condemnation, openly lie, often site known inaccurate and ignorant sources, create absurd situations that will never arise normally. And so on and so on.

Now, did you need a whole thread to have that told to you again? This is why people object to tracts. Not because they are Christian, but because they are, in all fairness, crap. They give Christians bad names, and make them come of similar to Jack Chick himself - an idiot who doesn't have the slightest idea what he is talking about. And what little he does know is often presented in the wrong context.



My logical problems with that statement - without Christ there would be no Christianity, no Christian faith, no Christians.

And it was a good thing only a small community only treated the OT like gospel. And even today those who live by it aren't allowed, or don't care to, obey the stricter rulings - such as stoning or death for transgressions. So it wouldn't matter if Christ existed or not, the world today wouldn't have somehow been transformed into a horrible place running to OT rulings on morality and society.

Go to and thread started, or posted in by JIA and sooner or later you will encounter a Chick Tract. For your viewing pleasure I offer you the one that deals with why D&D is bad. It clarifies exactly what I was saying:

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp

Basically Jack Chick is a Christian propaganda maker who decided to reach the intelligent masses through poorly constructed, mistruth riddled comics.

Yes, Alliance is correct, Judaism never lent itself easily to conversion or ruling, and few cultures where friendly to it. With or without Christianity there was never any danger of Jews somehow taking control of Europe, for many reasons including the relatively small numbers of actually Jews compared to everybody else.

Europe would have remianed under the religious syncrtism of the Romans....that likely would have fractured into local (but likely repeating) religions as the West fell.

Likely would have had stronger influences from the barbarians up north....

The east might have gotten swayed by Hinduism (or at leas tHindu elements)...if it did, that might have re-spread west.

Then unless the Mongols or other trading groups brought the far easter Religions over, Islam would have likely taken the cake.

I'd agree with all that though whether Islam would have taken off as it did is debatable when certain aspects of its creation were a reaction to Christianity - that is giving those who would take to the Islamic religion a unified cultural identity to match the being exerted by the Christian side.

The Manichean's might also have done alright without Christianity.

Well....ok.

Not really. A D&D Druid is an incarnation of the devil due to them channeling life and all that then a Jedi master would equally be sinful, what with their powers. And besides, the Jedi Code more like a somewhat warped Buddhist philosophy, beyond the rather obvious light vs. dark parallels and the extensions of that they aren't really Christian.

And if Harry Potter and LotR don't escape th fanatics wrath with their themes of Good vs. Evil, neither does star wars.

Well, the Jedi can be ignorant dogmatic hypocrites..the entire concept is based on religion, which makes them immensely hypocritical.

Because Christianity was an evangelical religion that managed to convert the emperor, whereas Judaism was a fringe religion that pissed the emperor off at basically every available oportunity?

Because Christians wanted converts, whereas many Jews didn't?

Because, as debbiejoe mentioned, Christianity had a strong central leader whereas Judaism was a bunch of disparate groups (Sadducees, Pharisees, the Dead Sea Scroll community, etc) who hated each other?

I don't think he does.

I have a theory about JesusIsAlive. Well, my first theory is that he's a troll, but I have a secondary theory. JIA doesn't think of himself as a missinary; he thinks of himself as a martyr, Here he is, a poor persecuted Christian, spreading the Word of God to all of us evil heathens in spite of our ridicule and scorn! Truly, a devote Christian. He doesn't want to convert anyone, he wants his fundamentalist Christian persecution complex validated.

2. Martyr. Impossible...he's not dead. e-Martyr wannabe?

Well, after the persecutions ruled out Christians being able to legitimate seek death some started going the whole "white death" thing, were they died socially (sacrificed their social lives) as opposed to physically. They ostracised themselves from the masses and walled themselves up in caves or stood on poles etc.

He is doing a good job at ostracising himself from the community - maybe it is the whole living death type martyrdom.

I always loved the sitting on poles...no wonder the Romans thought that they were crazy.

True, true. So much symbolism involved in thinking one is getting closer to God by sitting on a pole and never washing. Those Christians were crazy.

Is he in any way a woman or a homosexual?

No. Just an artist...like me...but much more sexual.

Oh. So he's interested in phallic things? He might want to try Silent Hill. It's quite suprirsing how many references there are.

Hes not interested in phallic things, jut references to phallauses in art and culture...and he sees them everwhere beyond where they should be....so I try not to encourage him

What are you talking about? That teacher is ****ing evil--just look at her face!

Chick doesn't draw the tracks, does he? I thought he had an illustrator.

I have no idea.

He certainly puts his name on them.

Then he is double damned - he passes judgement on them, one would expect he to hire a good comic artist. It's not like there aren't many out there.

He, as afar as I know, did the early ones. I' not so sure about all of them though.

WHOA...there were like forty seven theories in there.

1. Troll. Likely.
2. Martyr. Impossible...he's not dead. e-Martyr wannabe?
3. Unstable psycho seeking spiritual validation. Also likely.


My theories:


1) Troll as well

2) I also beleive he has this "victim complex" where he subconcsiouly WANTS everyone to insult his Faith so it makes it easier for him to demonize the rest of us, and feel sorry for himself.

3) He may honestly think he is a tool for God, and beleive that because his beleifs spring from the "Divine" that everything he says is automatically correct, and everything we say, no matter how logical or factual, is wrong.

4) He's retarted.

5) He's a guy who's never had sex, tries his hardest to get it, and passes the time by annoying people online.

6) He's a computer virus

I agree.

JIA, when you posted biblical quotes, you atleast proved you had an extensive knowledge of biblical text, and could flexibly apply your Biblical knowledge to different "moral" scenarios.

But when you just started posting Chick Tracts, I took your arguments and you Faith less and less seriously...

I concur.

If a person cannot uplift his/hers religion, without shaming the other, that says a lot about that religion, doesn't it.

Chick is sick. It even rhymes.

On the contrary...I would say it says more about the person. Perhaps the current interpretation of the religoin is a catalyst for such shameful actions....but when it comes down to it...people have a brain. If they choose not to use it...it is not their religons fault...it is thiers.

I think god struck him with arthritis and he wouldn't take a hint.

Maybe next hell get cancer. Disease is a sign that you're failing god.

That's exactly it. HIV/AIDS is for gay people. Cancer is for other sinners, and the Africans starve and suffer from famine because they are Pagans.

You see ? God is just and is fair.

Which is funny because Africa is one of the few places where Christianity is not declining - in part to all that suffering. Which is one of the problems many people have with those Christians who claim "God looks after his own" - yes, tell that to the millions of African members of the flock starving and dying of disease and at the hands of the militias.

There aren't enough of them.

And of course the Athiests who go over there to help are often seen as chopped liver compared to the Christians who go over there.

There are tons of Christians who live. In fact, the major religion of this world is Christianity....yet how come so few Christians are bothering to go help those in Africa?

Let me ask you...are you doing anything about the damages and suffering in Africa ?

Originally posted by FeceMan

Perhaps it is more... shall we say, intentions of the Christians that go that is a problem? What use, exactly, are the base missionaries who simply go over there to preach and convert? None. At all.

It is only at higher levels, with money, infrastructure and science that real progress is made. Fortunately some Christian organisations are up to date with that.

And there seems to be a terrible lot of Christians in the world. The majority of them who will never go aiding in Africa. You make it sound like Christians are somehow a tiny minority struggling. Not one of the more numerous and influential religions around.

Hmm, my church has sent missionaries that certainly aren't at the "higher level". They help them build as well as preach and convert.

And my intent wasn't to make it sound like Christians are a minority. Unfortunately, I happen to be quite wrapped up in my own life right now.

The most numerous and one of the most influential.
